About This Tour

The Desert Adventure is a thrilling 5-day, 4-night journey that takes travellers deep into Saudi Arabia’s most awe-inspiring natural and desert landscapes, spanning Riyadh and AlUla. The tour begins in Riyadh with a dramatic sunset excursion to the Edge of the World — a 1,131-meter-high cliff at the end of the vast Tuwaiq Mountain range, some 100 km from the city — before unwinding at the vibrant entertainment hub of Boulevard Riyadh City.

The adventure reaches its peak in AlUla, where guests explore the ancient stone labyrinth of the Old Town, embark on a 4x4 Pangaea Sharaan Safari through red-rock canyons and sandstone formations of the protected Sharaan Nature Reserve, and cap it all with a world-class stargazing experience at the rock formations of Gharameel — dining under the Milky Way around a campfire with millions of stars visible to the naked eye. An optional pottery class rounds out this unforgettable desert odyssey.
